ALIEN and ALIENS Thread...

[abake]

Beautiful!
Could you do a review of the creature for us?
What's the articulation/poseability like? How's the feel of the material used?
Do you by any chance own a McFarlane alien to compare with?
Is it the coolest alien toy/action figure ever?
(well, I guess we know the answer to that one, but still...)

Anyway, congratulations!

While I wait impatiently for my HotToys alien, here's a few pics of my preds battling McF's alien!

And a couple of "portraits":

Abake, trully great photography skills!

 

[gdb]

I got my Alien today!!

Congrats QQB and thanks for the pics! Can't wait for this guy to hit the states. I'd feel bad that I didn't pre-order more of him except, knowing Hot Toys, they'll rerelease him with plenty of variations.

Abake, trully great photography skills!

Thanks!
But I fear it's mostly my limited knowledge of photoshop that helped make the pics a lot more dramatic than they actually are...

 

[twistedfreak]

That is awesome man. I am still waiting to get mine.

Thanks!

Congrats abake, they are stunning images, and thanks again to QQB for all the pics and mouth tutorial, awesome, man!

I'm with you gdb, holding off on this one, amazing as it is. I truly believe we will be shortly hearing an announcement from HT about doing an "ALIENS" Warrior to go with the set of Marines AND knowing Howard, the team leader at HT, an Alien Queen too!

And don't count out HT announcing a Terminator Endosketon either.

 

[abake]

I wouldn't dream of holding back on these creatures!
Can you imagine having all the different versions of these beautiful creatures on your shelf?

 

[QQB]

@_@... that hard for me for review in english....!
some guy (inside HT) told me that be more different versions Alien come out later (Alien III & Alien II)
just for fun (AVQ)

 

[Sachiel]

I figured an alien from Aliens would come, but not Alien 3.

 

[abake]

Aliens from A2 and A3?
Awesome!
I sincerely hope they will do an alien from the first movie as well, wouldn't be too hard considering that it is very close to the creatures in Aliens (the main differences are in the lack of the dome, the detailing of the skull underneath the dome, the hands and feet, and the "blades" on the forearms, but the body structure in itself is the same).
Also, I would've thought they would do an alien from Alien:Resurrection, cause it's the same basic design as the AvP alien, with different legs and some more/less detailing in general.
Could you press them on this info, QQB?
I'm dying to know more about what HotToys has in store for us regarding aliens!

Oh, and awesome photo of Qui Gon! He'd better be careful with that acid blood...

Thanks for the info! Aliens from Aliens! Hell, yeah! I'd take an alien from Alien3 too. Maybe it'll be the dog alien.

Nice pics, btw.

 

[abake]

Well, if it is from Alien3, it has to be the dog alien.
I'm very excited about this piece of news!
You just can't have enough aliens! I just hope this doesn't mean we're not getting an alien from the first movie, that just wouldn't make any sense.

 

[pjam]

Can't wait for the HT "Aliens" warrior, hope they do a Queen too and the power loader would be amazing... I think they will, if they can do ED-209, they can certainly do a PL.

Howard is a total 80s film freak, like many of us!

 

[Batty]

Well, if it is from "Alien3", it has to be the dog alien.

Yeah, I think the adult Alien in "Alien3" was almost exactly like the ones from "Aliens". It just didn't have the back spines for some reason.

So, the dog Alien from "Alien3" and a Warrior Alien from "Aliens"... Let's hope! The Queen? It would be huge! Would HT do something that large or would they just do it in a smaller scale?

I used the word "alien" seven times in this post.

 

[galactiboy]

I'm very happy to here some news on an Alien Warrior from Aliens... that should be quite awesome! And, like its been said before, don't count out the possibility of a 1/6 Queen or Powerloader

 

[figuremaster_les]

Good news all around!

COUNT ME IN!
This new wave of Hot Toys is Rockin'!
Hope they go for broke and make the 1/6 Powerloader for Ripley to fit in, and the Queen of course.

Here is my attempt at a decent ALIENS warrior for my growing Hot Toys gang to fight or display with at best...it's just a repainted MacFarlane ALIEN. Not completely done yet, but all it needs is those arm things. Added the really long fingers and lost the extra opposing thumbs, added the inner extra toes and took the head tubes and dome off. Blended the front and back end of the head and did some serious detail paintup on it. (I have repainted all my smaller MacFarlane figures, so this was just a larger one to do...)
I don't like those weird mid-limbed joints, but it does have plenty of ALIENS goodness built in.
Something to display until HT comes out with a better one...and I can repaint it!

First up, it's life cycle...

With HT Vasquez...

Giving HT Hicks a hard time...

Posing...

More posing...

With my in-progress custom Bishop...

Hope to be adding more to this group soon.
STAY TUNED!

That thread got some awesome pictures in it.Keep them coming.

Actually there's quite a bit of difference with the Alien 3 to Aliens version of the creatures. The Alien 3 version has a dome back on the head, the previously mentioned lack of back spines for mobility purposes (because this one would be on all fours at times and they needed clearance for the head), different jaw and head proportions, it's legs are not human-like but dog-like, and different hands. And it's brown.

Beautiful work on the McFarlane, Les!
